It was a slice of heaven last Sunday morning.
A giant American flag was the bold backdrop for our incredible choir and orchestra. Patriotic music filled the sanctuary, echoing our gratitude for this land we love. And, we sang each song of each branch of the military that keep watch over us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holy chill bumps came as we sang \u201cGlory, Glory Hallelujah \u2013 His truth is marching on!\u201d And, \u201cAmerica the Beautiful\u201d and \u201cGod Bless America\u201d \u2014 and yet, our eyes lifted higher, toward the eternal home we long for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our beautifully multicultural and multinational congregation gathered in unity \u2014 a glorious glimpse of what\u2019s to come when \u201cevery nation, tribe, people and language\u201d stands together before the throne of God (Revelation 7:9).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The apostle John saw it too \u2014 in a vision, he witnessed a great multitude clothed in white, singing in harmony before the throne:
\u201cPraise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God forever and ever!\u201d (Revelation 7:12)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that is a worship service worth getting dressed up for.
Scripture tells us the marriage supper of the Lamb will one day unite Christ with His radiant, international Bride (Revelation 19:9).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No seating charts, no divisions, no borders. Just joy. Just Jesus. Just us \u2014 together, finally whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But why wait?
Let\u2019s live like we\u2019re already there.
Let\u2019s stop bickering, whining, and clinging to things that divide us.
Let\u2019s start loving, praising, serving, and walking like people who\u2019ve been bought with a price \u2014 a price far greater than anything this world could offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And while we wait in hope for that grand wedding day, let\u2019s practice.
Let\u2019s feast with one another.
Let\u2019s worship loud and laugh often.
Let\u2019s clean our hearts \u2014 no spots, no wrinkles \u2014 just grace-pressed lives ready for glory.
Because the invitation has already been sent.
And the Lamb? He\u2019s waiting with open arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What a day it will be when every nation and tongue gathers before the Lamb. Until then, let\u2019s live like we\u2019re already at the wedding feast \u2013 joyful, unified and full of praise!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
